It has been a month or so at least since the last successful update. It did complain about the REMI repos, which is odd as this all started when my yum update only updated PHP and Google Chrome, with PHP coming from REMI. > yum --disablerepo=epel --enablerepo=extras reinstall epel-release ran okay and successfully reinstalled epel-release.noarch 0:7-11 > yum update Still failed in the same way as before.

[root at stan2 ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ... 4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable <repoid> or subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid> 5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel/x86_64.
